My Approach to Helping
I take a holistic approach to address the entire person -- the biological, physiological, environmental, and interpersonal impacts on mental health.
I bring a deep understanding of the gut-brain connection, genetics, nutrition, stress, trauma, and the various lifestyle and environmental factors that impact mental health. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my mission is to help you achieve lasting healing by addressing the root causes of mental illness and improving your quality of life.
With 13 years of experience in medication management, I am well-versed in prescribing medications when necessary. However, I believe in a comprehensive approach that goes beyond conventional treatments. My in-depth knowledge of these factors allows me to create individualized treatment plans that are evidence-based and holistic.
I utilize a wide range of diagnostic tools to assess your overall health, including gut health, neurotransmitter metabolism, thyroid and adrenal function, nutritional deficiencies, and toxicity. By understanding these underlying factors, I can help clarify your diagnosis and provide treatment options that support your body’s natural ability to heal.
My goal is to offer you a broader perspective on mental health. I can assist in transitioning off medications when appropriate, support detoxification processes, and guide you towards sustainable wellness. By focusing on the root causes of your symptoms, I aim to help you achieve long-term benefits and a more enduring quality of life.
Let’s work together to align your treatment with your unique needs, invoking the power of inner healing and restoring your wellness.
